    They need to change the rules to allow remote voting during an emergency, at least for Senators that have a legitimate reason for not being present. Allow them to vote via video so you can ensure the right person is voting.

        • Mitt happens!

          Mitt tested negative for Covid-19. Ann having MS, this was pretty important. Then Ol Dimwitted Don sat down to poop out his latest lunch of Big Macs and Diet Coke and excreted this little gem:

          There's only one response to this, and Steve Carrell gave it:

            The guy is astonishingly petty, insulting and juvenile. But his base loves this crap, so he persists.

            • Professor Claire Finkelstein, director of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law, provides the best assessment of this ongoing drama in the Washington Post.

              Romney has now eclipsed the late senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) as the object of an intraparty presidential grudge. Trump considered McCain a heretic for his 2017 vote on health care and insulted the long-serving Republican even as McCain faced death from brain cancer.

              Part of what Trump seems to find galling in both men was a reputation for heroism or rectitude that has eluded Trump himself, said professor Claire Finkelstein, director of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law.

              “Mitt Romney has been a vocal spokesman for ethical conduct while in office, but also has been a model of that kind of conduct. It is part of Trump’s attack on values to try and degrade any individual who demonstrates that kind of leadership,” at what Trump sees as his own expense, Finkelstein said.
              Mitt's mere presence and goodness drives Trump crazy.

              Mitt Simply Happens!!!
              Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                          He's all like "Hey Donald, I'm over here exposing your best buddy Xi. And you task forces suck."

                          Mitt Romney: America is awakening to China. This is a clarion call to seize the moment.

                          But Mitt missed the chance to further expose Huawei. SAD.

                            “We have one eye closed and the other eye is clouded over instead of having a clear, real time dashboard of all the patients in the country," Romney said.

                            Romney made clear he was not blaming Redfield, the CDC or even President Donald Trump and his administration, even though Romney has been the GOP senator most critical of the president over the past year and voted to remove him from office during the Senate's impeachment trial. He laid the current predicament at the feet of lackluster, long-running funding from Congress and lack of focus from several administrations.

                            “I blame, if you will, Congress and administrations, all of us who are responsible for public health not blowing the whistle on this,” Romney said. Notably, Congress on Thursday was finalizing approval of $25 billion for testing for coronavirus as part of a $484 billion coronavirus relief measure.

                            But that's only a piece of the puzzle, the senators say. Even if testing expands, policymakers and politicians can't make informed decisions without a treasure trove of data.
                            Data is going to kill this thing!

                              I'm not sure how anyone sees this shit and still has confidence in voting for orange fucko. He's a geriatric toddler, and the biggest snowflake ever to be in the office. He makes the SJWs everyone likes to whine about seem like resilient thick-skinned marines.

                                It seems that Romney is a party of one and now a lame duck senator... man, that sucks for Utah.
